๐จ Arlington, VA Hotel Picks:
After my 1st trip I learned something VERY important. Most of the upscale restaurants don't even open to 4pm But if your looking for food at a reasonable price. There is nothing better than Union Station, tons of places to eat. BTW a cop told me this following be careful when getting food from a food truck. Make sure they have all their tags. Food poisoning can and will happen.

๐บ๐ธ GETTING AROUND ๐บ๐ธ
Give yourself a break. Stay in one of the business hotel/motels out in Rockville and take the FREE shuttles to the local metro station? Call them and they will come and pick you up at the end of day and make you trip easy. Lodging is much cheaper, safer and when you are through you are right next to it 270 going home, or south to north VA. Meyto is cheap and easy to use and will get you ANYWHERE.๐

๐ HELP CORR TRAVEL GROW - Give this video a Super Thanks!
I am very grateful for the renewed interest in the Epstein case and for information it yields pertaining Donald T and unacceptable behaviors. I am, humbly and as a democratic duty to this United american nation I love so much not as a daily gossip peddler, an insider in Washington, child of a high ranking federalist in the CIA.
We must speak in terms of federal codes for the safety of this nation but no significant information will need to be spared, the direct pathway is hidden by the Gemini principle. I am being taken into the ranks of the CIA now myself, at a younger age than usual due to a high personal grade and emphatically as a yang publicity agent assigned to improve moral over the intelligence of Americans and dissuade views that there is or will be any partiality given to people employing strategies like Donald T to usurp the natural principles of our constitution and change the basis of our very country in favor of fascists.
My stories echoes with the same Gemini elements of recent great Democrats, including the great President Obama...
America, I am able now to admit to you today with classification that the CIA since the days of President Obama had watched the circle of Donald T knowing that there would be trouble, realize that we were prepared for all of it and there is far less damage than it seems. But now, let me focus more on matters that are more recent.
In my pre beginning uptake as an agent I was shown that Donald continues to be prosecuted in American courts it has just been kept highly private, around Mother's Day he had a court date for matters pertaining to his relation to Epstein, note mothers day was well before there started to be any renewed media interest in Epstein.
I am being painstakingly guided by the law to release this information independently to you the American public
Make no mistake, from the offices of the CIA, the media is depicted as a gullible wild dog, gullibility that conmen like Donald T play on to the extreme. Have no doubt from the official mouths that know, DT is being prosecuted even as we speak, and things are glum, the viel of charisma wears off when true scales are in effect. I am telling you the truth, the CIA, and other high level nonpartisan offices of government that must remain untouched by presidential bias, can only release information this sensitive openly after the immediate matters are sitting for some time not as a live feed and not next day coverage but with month long delays. Know that as Americans your blessing of liberty and American equality remains secure, what is being revealed in the coming months is important and telling and just know that kfully it's all a ploy to increase truth in American wisdom because the seeds of this horrid sham were caught before they germinated by the Obama age CIA

WHY FOLLOW CORR TRAVEL?
Washington DC is the ultimate destination for history lovers. I took my daughter last August and we loved it! Felt very safe.
Our tips:
Good walking shoes are an absolute must!
Bring a cheap, light refillable water bottle.
Cooling neck cloths work better than neck fans.
Lyft is cheaper than Uber.
When leaving dc place your metro card on top of the machine for fellow travelers to use. We still had $13 on our and a lady from Australia couldnโt get her card to work so we gave ours to her.
Arlington is the best!
As well as the national Archives!
Book a hotel with free breakfast.
Youโre going to do a lot of walking so allow plenty of time

Adams Morgan and Georgetown, the National Zoo, Rock Creek Park, Meridian Hill, for the best scenic sight after the Washington Monument, Embassy Row, National Cathedral. A beautiful city I had the pleasure to call home for 30+ years. October is the best month to visit.
Venture outside the mall area, you'll be surprised.
